Jump to PostBasically, you can use the system command:
system("c:\somepath\some.exe");or you can use backticks, such as:
`c:\somepath\some.exe`;And yet another solution is to use the open command:
open(FH, "c:\somepath\some.exe |"); close(FH);

@args = ("command", "arg1", "arg2");
system(@args) == 0 or die "system @args failed: $?"
